Industrial & Manufacturing Electrical Contractor – Southeastern PA
In a manufacturing environment, electrical downtime isn't measured in inconvenience — it's measured in lost production, missed shipments, and scrapped product. Industrial electrical systems are complex, loads are demanding, and the consequences of failure are immediate.
Hobbs & Company has been supporting industrial and manufacturing operations throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic for over 85 years. We understand production schedules, planned outage windows, and the difference between a maintenance contractor who works around your operation and one who holds it hostage.

Industrial Electrical Services
Energy Optimization
Industrial facilities are among the largest energy consumers in any portfolio. We help manufacturing operations reduce peak demand charges, correct power factor penalties, and identify efficiency opportunities — then execute the electrical work to capture them.
- Peak demand monitoring and load management
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration for demand charge reduction
- Power factor correction capacitor banks
- LED lighting retrofits for production and warehouse areas
- EV fleet charging infrastructure for logistics and fleet operations
Power Distribution & Infrastructure
Large industrial facilities require robust electrical distribution from utility service entrance through switchgear, MCC rooms, and individual machine feeds. We design, install, and maintain distribution systems built for the load profiles and operational demands of your facility.
- Service entrance upgrades and utility coordination
- Medium and low voltage switchgear installation
- Motor control center (MCC) installation and maintenance
- Bus duct and cable tray systems
- Power factor correction and harmonic mitigation
- Load studies and capacity planning
Machine & Equipment Power
New equipment installations, production line reconfigurations, and facility expansions require electrical work that keeps pace with your capital project timeline. We coordinate with OEMs, mechanical contractors, and your internal engineering team to deliver clean, reliable power to every machine.
- Dedicated machine feeds and disconnects
- Variable frequency drive (VFD) installation and wiring
- Control panel wiring and integration
- Equipment relocation and circuit extension
- Startup and commissioning support
Preventative Maintenance Programs
Unplanned electrical failures in manufacturing environments are almost always preventable. Our maintenance programs identify the problems — overheating connections, aging insulation, undersized breakers — before they find you during a production run.
- Infrared thermography across distribution systems and MCC equipment
- Switchgear and breaker maintenance and testing
- Motor and drive circuit inspections
- Arc flash studies and NFPA 70E label updates
- Documented maintenance records for insurance and compliance
Emergency Response — 24/7
Production doesn't stop because it's 2 AM on a Saturday. Neither do we. Our service team is positioned throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania with 24/7 availability for industrial emergency response — troubleshooting, isolation, and repair to get your line running again.
We Work Around Your Production Schedule
Planned outage windows are tight in manufacturing. We staff appropriately, coordinate shutdowns in advance, and don't leave until the work is complete and the line is running. Our clients schedule maintenance with us because we don't create new problems.
Downtime Has a Number — We Know It
Every hour of unplanned downtime has a real cost to your operation. That understanding drives how we respond, how we plan, and how we communicate — before, during, and after every job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What industrial and manufacturing electrical services does Hobbs & Company provide?
Hobbs & Company provides a full range of industrial electrical services including power distribution and switchgear installation, motor control center (MCC) installation and maintenance, machine and equipment power, variable frequency drive (VFD) wiring, preventative maintenance programs, arc flash studies, energy optimization, and 24/7 emergency response — for manufacturing and industrial facilities throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic.
How does Hobbs & Company handle electrical work around active production schedules?
We coordinate planned outage windows in advance, staff appropriately for the scope, and don't leave until the work is complete and the line is running. Our team works directly with your production and facilities management to minimize impact and communicate proactively throughout every job.
What is a motor control center (MCC) and does Hobbs & Company install and maintain them?
A motor control center is a centralized assembly of motor starters, drives, and control components used to manage industrial motors and equipment from a single location. Yes — we install, maintain, and troubleshoot MCC equipment as part of our core industrial electrical services, including coordination with OEMs and your internal engineering team.
Can Hobbs & Company help reduce energy costs in a manufacturing facility?
Yes. We help manufacturing operations reduce peak demand charges through load management and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration, correct power factor penalties with capacitor banks, and identify efficiency opportunities through LED lighting retrofits and EV fleet charging infrastructure. We then execute the electrical work to capture those savings.
What certifications does Hobbs & Company hold for industrial electrical work?
Our team holds OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, and NICET Level II certifications — the standards required for safe and compliant work in industrial and manufacturing environments. We maintain arc flash study documentation and NFPA 70E label updates as part of our standard maintenance programs, and we are licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland.
